Come Down McGinty 1904

I'll tell you of two friends of mine,
McGinty and McGuire,
who'd fight in any hallway
if their temper was on fire,
went round a famous building
on a very windy day,
McGinty being awful thin,
it carried him away,
McGuire saw him rising,
just as though he'd reach the sky,
Says he: "Now that's surprising
that he never said goodbye,"
When he reached the roof in safety,
faith his shoes came down instead,
McGuire he got crazy
when they struck him on the head,
and this is what he said:

Come down McGinty
I'll whip you where I'm standing,
Come down McGinty
yes, come down from that landing,
I'll whip you,
I'll not kick you,
But I'll break your back
you Mick you,
If you come down,
come down here McGinty.

Come down McGinty
I'll whip you where I'm standing,
Come down McGinty
yes, come down from that landing,
I'll whip you,
I'll not kick you,
But I'll break your back
you Mick you,
If you come down,
come down here McGinty.

It seems it all passed over
with McGinty and McGuire,
they both were soon in clover
for to work was their desire,
they were working in a quarry,
where the men were blasting rocks,
where during dinner hour
they were seated on a box,
McGuire started smokin,
then the match he threw away,
It struck some blasting powder,
faith I'll ne'er forget the day,
It blew McGinty in the air,
Says Mc: "I think that's wrong,"
For him to treat me so unfair
and take my lunch along,
and he shouted loud and strong:

Come down McGinty
I'll whip you where I'm standing,
Come down McGinty
yes, come down from that landing,
I'll whip you,
I'll not kick you,
But I'll break your back
you Mick you,
If you come down,
come down here McGinty.

Come down McGinty
I'll whip you where I'm standing,
Come down McGinty
yes, come down from that landing,
I'll whip you,
I'll not kick you,
But I'll break your back
you Mick you,
If you come down,
come down here McGinty.
